Is an out of bounds on the full recorded as a free kick? Friend from work said as much the other day.

OOF are the only frees the maggots pay us more often that not. However, they do not pay them 100% of the time. They usually have to because it is so obvious, but on the admittedly rare occasions they don't, you know the fix is on.

AFl website says he was reported for a "bump" on Menadue. This then lead to a melee where he slung Rance to the ground and then "took on" Jack Riewoldt. No mentions of a punch or even a swing. Not even mentioned in the report.

The AFL will tell the umpire to issue an apology to Franklin for reporting him.

In reality though that bump is exactly what the AFL is trying to remove from the game. If they were serious it should not matter what the injury report says, clearly elected to bump someone front on with their head over the ball. Should be weeks, not just a week. It is Sydney though so nothing will happen.
